Strikethrough Text Knowledge

Strikethrough Text Principle

The strikethrough text generator uses Unicode combining character technology to add special combining marks to each character, thereby achieving a strikethrough effect in the text. These combining characters do not change the original character, but overlay on the character above or in the middle to form various styles of strikethrough.

Strikethrough Types Explained

Standard Strikethrough (Single)

Uses Unicode combining character U+0336 (̶) to create a horizontal line

e̶x̶a̶m̶p̶l̶e̶

Double Strikethrough (Double)

Combines U+0336 and U+0335 (̵) to create two parallel lines

e̶̵x̶̵a̶̵m̶̵p̶̵l̶̵e̶̵

Wavy Strikethrough (Wave)

Uses Unicode combining character U+0337 (̷) to create a wavy line

e̷x̷a̷m̷p̷l̷e̷

Slashed Strikethrough (Slashed)

Uses Unicode combining character U+0338 (̸) to create a slash line

e̸x̸a̸m̸p̸l̸e̸

Application Scenarios for Strikethrough Text

  • Social Media: Highlight modified or deleted content on platforms like Twitter, Facebook, etc.
  • Chat Applications: Indicate humorous regret or changing one's mind in chats
  • Document Editing: Mark content that needs modification in collaborative editing
  • Price Tagging: Display original price vs. discounted price in promotional information
  • Programming Comments: Mark outdated information in code comments
  • Creative Writing: Express a character's inner conflict or revision traces in literary creation

Unicode Combining Character Knowledge

Unicode combining characters are special characters that do not display individually, but are attached to the previous character to change or enhance the appearance of that character. The strikethrough generator uses the following Unicode combining characters:

U+0336

̶

Combining Long Stroke Overlay

U+0335

̵

Combining Short Stroke Overlay

U+0337

̷

Combining Short Solidus Overlay

U+0338

̸

Combining Long Solidus Overlay

Usage Tips and Precautions

  • In some older applications or operating systems, Unicode combining characters may not display correctly
  • It is recommended to test the display effect of strikethrough text on the target platform before use
  • Excessively long strikethrough text may affect readability, so moderate use is recommended
  • Combining with other text effects (such as bold, italic) can create richer visual effects
  • Some special characters (such as emojis) may not support all types of strikethrough
  • Using the "Download" function can save the generated strikethrough text for subsequent use
